Fireflies to Telegram: Recording Backup Export
Notis backs up your Fireflies call recordings by exporting them and posting them to a Telegram backup channel, so you have a resilient copy independent of Fireflies' infrastructure.

Why this helps
Relying solely on Fireflies for recordings creates a single point of failure. Distributed backups matter for business continuity. Posting backups to Telegram gives you peace of mind.
- Resilient backup of critical recordings
- Avoid losing irreplaceable conversations
- Multi-cloud backup strategy
- Peace of mind for compliance and retention
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Fireflies and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a transcription completes, export the recording file and send it to my backup channel in Telegram. Keep the original filename and metadata.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Transcription Complete' and choose a dedicated Telegram channel for backups.
- 4Notis exports recordings and posts them to Telegram as documents.
- 5Test: verify that a recording is successfully posted to Telegram and is downloadable.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis filter which recordings get backed up?
Yes. Tell Notis to back up only 'client calls' or 'recordings longer than 10 minutes' or whatever your criteria. This helps manage storage and focus on what matters.
How long does Telegram keep these files?
Telegram stores files indefinitely as long as they're in a channel. For permanent archival, periodically download them and store offline, but Telegram is reliable for short to medium-term backup.
What about privacy and confidentiality?
Use a private Telegram channel (invitation-only) so only trusted team members can access backups. Notis respects your channel privacy settings.
